Dear Ultimatecarpage.com visitor,

The first half of the year was covered with speculation about a mysterious project, which culminated in the launch of the Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Since then it has graced the cover of automotive magazines around the world and it was the most obvious choice for our short-list of 2006 new releases. The P4/5 was also one of the stars of the Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris together with the very impressive Audi R8 and the achingly beautiful Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione.
Many months earlier in Geneva another Ferrari grabbed the world's attention; the 599 GTB Fiorano. With its daring design and stunning performance, it set new benchmarks in its class. Also present in Switzerland was the Saab Aero X, which is one of the most exciting concept cars of the year.
The year kicked off with the Detroit show where the muscle cars of old were revived in great style. Both the Chevrolet Camaro Concept and Dodge Challenger Concept were very well received and will enter the showrooms in the near future. Aston Martin surprised the crowd with the four-door Rapide Concept.
This concludes our 'best of 2006' series and the last of this year's news features. Our team would like to wish you all the best and many motoring hours for 2007.
